Baba Indaba is a fictitious Zulu storyteller who narrates children's stories from around the world. Baba Indaba translates as "Father of Stories".

It is believed that folklore and tales are believed to have originated in India and made their way overland along the Silk and Spice routes and through the Middle East and Central Asia before arriving in Europe. Even so, this does not cover all folklore from all four corners of the world. Indeed folklore, legends and myths from Africa, Australia, Polynesia, and some from Asia too, can be altogether quite different and seem to have originated, on the whole, from separate reservoirs of lore, legend and culture.

PHILLIP DAVIESAn enchanting cornucopia of welsh legends.Dylan Thomas told me that he loved the fragments that he had been able to read.These tales have captured the mystery and majesty of the Principality.Well done.Dai iawn.

MichaelThe Kalevala, the book that inspired Tolkien to write the Silmarillion, is not for the faint of heart! at 22,975 verses it is truly an Epic Poem. A fantastic translation for any student of finnish culture - the Kalevala translation by JM Crawford is one of the few that attempts to preserve the original finnish metre! A great work, and fast delivery from Abela!

KarlMany people have heard of the Hopi Indians, but few know their history. Written at the turn of the 20th Century, this great book reminded me of a civilisation that is fast disappearing. Abela Publishing were fast and efficient, can't fault them!

AnonymousThe great Incan civilization had a huge affect on the culture of South America, great to read about their tales in this volume! Very fast delivery and easy checkout with Abela! Being able to pay by Paypal was a real plus!

Sam CrossA gateway to the world of Russian myth and legend, a truly interesting (and entertaining) read. The Story of Ivan and the Daughter of the Sun was especially good! Excellent service from Abela, as always.

Gerry O'Donohoereally pleased to get a book of traditional Celtic fairy tales to read to the kids, the book benefits the princes trust too - an added bonus. Payment and delivery were really easy, I would recommend Abela publishing
